OK, so - java folks, please, take your java migration overlay bugs |
| 36 |
somewhere else from bugzilla. You know very well I had no problem w/ |
| 37 |
assigning them, I just requested them to be clearly marked as such |
| 38 |
(which the users have been doing, thank you for that). Since some |
| 39 |
developers consider such use of bugzilla as misuse of Gentoo |
| 40 |
infrastructure and have gone so far that they involved devrel in this |
| 41 |
discussion, I'm not going to assign those bugs any more. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Your 'thank you' goes especially to brix, your complaints go to devrel |
| 44 |
as a body that proclaimed themselves empowered to decide on acceptable |
| 45 |
bugzilla usage. There's no technical difference between using bugzilla |
| 46 |
for unofficial java migration overlay hosted on gentooexperimental.org |
| 47 |
and using it for unofficial overlay hosted on gentoo-sunrise.org (and |
| 48 |
even usage of keywords and status whiteboard for unofficial overlays |
| 49 |
counts as a misuse of bugzilla here). Devrel's current policy clearly is |
| 50 |
that bugzilla may only be used for official overlays hosted on |
| 51 |
overlays.gentoo.org, |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Sorry for the inconvenience, not my fault. |
